Watch parties have been held just to see her ride in the Tour. <strong>Kim Le Court is no longer just an athlete\u2026 She has become an ambassador for our culture, our potential, and our collective pride.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She expresses her philosophy in a powerful sentence that resonates deeply with us, as Mauritian women: <strong><em>&#8220;I ride to show that anything is possible, even when you come from a small island.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>An Extraordinary Athlete<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born in March 1996 in Mauritius, Kim is the daughter of a Scottish mother and a Mauritian father of French descent. She grew up alongside her older brother, Olivier, who also pursued a career in road cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the age of three, her life took a dramatic turn. During a trip abroad, she contracted malaria. Initially misdiagnosed as a simple fever, the illness quickly worsened. She fell into a coma, and her chances of survival dropped to just 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against all odds, she recovered. On the very day she woke up, Kim got on a bicycle and pedalled through the hospital corridors, a moment she recalls with emotion:<br><em>\u201cIt felt like the bicycle had been waiting for me all along.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the age of 12, after trying rugby, tennis, golf and especially football, Kim took up cycling seriously. She began competing in races at a time when women\u2019s cycling was still barely developed in Mauritius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2015 and 2016, she tried her luck in Europe, but the early years were challenging. She later moved to South Africa, where she resumed training, rediscovered her passion, and returned to high-level competition especially in <strong>mountain biking (MTB)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>2023<\/strong>, she had an outstanding season, winning two prestigious multi-stage MTB races: the <strong>Cape Epic<\/strong> and the <strong>Swiss Epic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That same year, her husband, cyclist <strong>Ian Pienaar<\/strong>, reached out to European teams on her behalf. The <strong>AG Insurance\u2013Soudal<\/strong> team decided to take a chance on her. In <strong>2024<\/strong>, Kim officially joined the international elite by signing with the <strong>Belgian UCI Women\u2019s World Tour team<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <strong>April 27, 2025<\/strong>, she made history by winning <strong>Li\u00e8ge\u2013Bastogne\u2013Li\u00e8ge Femmes<\/strong>, one of the five great cycling classics. She became the <strong>first African woman<\/strong> to win a <strong>UCI Women\u2019s WorldTour classic<\/strong>, a truly historic moment for both African and Mauritian cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"782\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/www.villa-vie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/w62ircWvyXTKGyc26pX9Jg-782x543.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-310213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.villa-vie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/w62ircWvyXTKGyc26pX9Jg-782x543.jpg 782w, https:\/\/www.villa-vie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/w62ircWvyXTKGyc26pX9Jg-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.villa-vie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/w62ircWvyXTKGyc26pX9Jg-768x533.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.villa-vie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/w62ircWvyXTKGyc26pX9Jg.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Kim Le Court of Mauritius and AG Insurance-Soudal Team celebrates at podium as race winner during the 9th Liege &#8211; Bastogne &#8211; Liege Femmes 2025 a 152.9km one day race from Bastogne to Liege \/ #UCIWWT \/ on April 27, 2025 in Liege, Belgium.
